【Part 16】Dao Yan

After Fang Xiaoru was sentenced to death, Yao Guangxiao was very disappointed. He admired literature and martial arts and always respected Fang Xiaoru. But he also knew that Fang Xiaoru was always rushing to die, and it was not surprising to have such consequences. But the execution of the Shi clan was a human tragedy. Why did Zhu Di then He must have spoken out of anger, but Jun Wuxi said that he could never take it back.

He sat in the imperial garden, observed the stars in the sky, and recalled that when he was a monk, he visited the mountains. When he was still young, he met a fortune teller who saw his appearance and said to him in surprise: "You are not Monk! Your eye sockets are triangular, like a sick tiger. You are naturally born and like to kill. You will be like Liu Bingzhong in the future!" Liu Bingzhong was a Han minister in the Yuan Dynasty who assisted Kublai Khan in achieving the great cause of the Yuan Dynasty. After hearing the words of the fortune teller, Yao Guangxiao Great joy. Therefore, Yao Guangxiao has always regarded himself as assisting the monarch of the Ming Dynasty, hoping that he can play a role in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

Yao Guangxiao left the Shaolin Temple and entered the Yugu Palace, which is known as one temple among the two palaces in the martial arts world. He wanted to learn the second of the three most unique skills in the world. Later, Yao Guangxiao left the Yugu Palace and entered the Palace of the Prince of Yan. As for why he chose the Palace of the Prince of Yan, it was because He knew that King Yan was ready to make a move and was by no means a thing in the pond. The most powerful thing about Yao Guangxiao in his life was his precise vision. He also saw that the vassal system left by Ming Taizu would become a problem sooner or later. King Yan and Yao Guangxiao hit it off. Without Yao Guangxiao's strategizing, King Yan would not have been able to win this battle.

Yao Guangxiao has been preparing for this battle for the emperor for decades. He is familiar with poetry and books, hoping to find out the way to the Golden Palace. He practices martial arts diligently, hoping to defeat the enemy thousands of miles away. Civil and martial arts In the Ming Dynasty, no one could compare with him. Looking around the civil and military dynasties, no one could compete with him.

But isn’t Yao Guangxiao afraid?

Afraid, very afraid. He also knew that the Zhu family was unfathomable and there were too many secrets in it that were unknown.

Precisely because Yao Guangxiao read poetry and books and saw how Taizu of the Ming Dynasty killed his ministers, he knew the principle of hiding the bird behind the bow.

The same goes for Emperor Yongle. Although Emperor Yongle respected him very much, the emperor's imperial skills were unpredictable. Yao Guangxiao thought about how to die a good death for himself every day.

Rebellion is Yao Guangxiao's interest, but surviving is his goal. After working hard for most of his life, he doesn't want to die in the street execution ground.

Therefore, since he ascended the throne, he refused many rewards and official positions given by Emperor Yongle. He could not take them. Once he took them, he would become a slave and would be played by Emperor Yongle. Therefore, he insisted on going his own way and repeatedly asked to escape into Buddhism. , just to make everyone think that Yao Guangxiao doesn't care about fame.

"I must retreat without retreating. I must have a foreshadowing and a second-in-command." Yao Guangxiao has a candidate in his mind who he thinks is perfect. Otherwise, the world will be controlled by Zheng He in the future. He must cultivate a comparable opponent. come out.

When it comes to Zheng He, Yao Guangxiao also has complicated thoughts. He feels that Zheng He is a talented general, but he is too cautious and his martial arts skills are unfathomable. Although they have worked together for many years, he has never guessed what Zheng He is thinking. According to his opinion, he is too cautious and his martial arts skills are unfathomable. , this person was tortured by the Ming Dynasty, and he must have hated the Ming Dynasty deep in his bones and blood. However, for many years, he was loyal to Emperor Yongle, pointing east to attack east, pointing west to attack west. The reason is hard to understand. Could it be that Zheng He Was he really loyal to Emperor Yongle? Moreover, Zheng He was given a surname and was sent to trace the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen, which shows how much Emperor Yongle trusted him.

Just when he was thinking about how to support the new people later, Qin Tianjian, who was in charge of the astrology and calendar, came in and asked to see him. Yao Guangxiao hurriedly got up to meet him.

"Lord Yao, I have something to tell you. I don't know whether I should say it or not?" Qin Tianjian fell to the ground, frightened and hesitantly said.

"explain."

"Last night I was observing the stars at night, and a red star appeared. This was a strange phenomenon. I am afraid someone may have violated the throne of the emperor."

"What's the meaning?"

"Historically, the appearance of the Red Star has been a precursor to the emperor's assassination or violent death. It means that someone may be coveting the emperor's position, and there may be major changes in the palace."

"What?" Yao Guangxiao was shocked when he heard this, "Who else knows about this?"

"No, I just told you."

"Very good, I will make arrangements. Be careful about the emperor's safety today. I will pay more attention to it."

Qin Tianjian seemed to be relieved and finally got rid of this hot potato. Now that he has told Yao Guangxiao, the next step is none of his business. Otherwise, he may be in danger of annihilating the family if he does not report the information.
